The German arm of the Swatch Group
Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date Limited-Edition Watches In Gray And Green

In the recent past, Glashütte Original has enjoyed significant success with brightly colored dials. Thus, it makes perfect sense for the German arm of the Swatch Group to roll the dice once more on this trend. By releasing the Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date Limited-Edition watches in gray and green, the company spruces up a successful collection that could always use more variety. Gray dials have been used before, but only with a sunray finish. This degradé fade is not only very current and a strong look for the quasi-square watch, but it also backs-up its more exciting green counterpart while offering a muted alternative.
Glashütte Original is one of the few watch manufactories to make its own dials. The production of highly refined dials from Glashütte Original takes place in our in-house dial manufactory, located 600 km away in Pforzheim.
Calibre 37-02
Apparently, the new Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date limited-edition watches are inspired by the landscape and sky that surrounds the small Saxon town GO calls home. Having worked in Glashütte for three years, I can attest to the greenery (which is rife, thanks to a weird microclimate that is quite happy to throw four seasons at you in 24 hours for no good reason at all). The gray is found in the rocky bluffs of the Ore Mountains that encircle the town and stretch southward toward the nearby Czech border. That, and the town’s rich history of tin and silver mining, the traces of which still litter the environment.
